Ok Subfags, let's put it all together…
Project Jennifer, also known as Project Azorian, was a C_A operation attributed to billionaire Howard Hughes (falsely). It funded the construction of the Glomar Explorer, a massive ship designed to crane up a sunken Soviet sub in the north pacific. That mission, although once thought a failure, more likely resulted in the recovery of at least one Soviet nuclear torpedo. THIS IS HOW THE CLOWNS GOT THEIR NUKE(S)

Now, in order to launch that torpedo, the needed a boat with similar capabilities. Enter the USS Richard Russell, commissioned in 1969. It had SUBROC capability; that is, the ability to launch nuclear capped torpedos:

IF true, the clowns then would have a platform, the USS Russell, and the nuclear weapon. Boom?
